For example, if the server contains six drives that are in
the RDY state, the EZ-RAID configuration feature will use
five drives to create one disk array and define it as one
RAID level 5 logical drive. The remaining drive is defined
as a hot-spare drive.
If you want to use the EZ-RAID configuration feature to
create multiple disk arrays, you might need to change the
device states of some of the drives to prevent them from
being included in the first array.
To create a disk array using the EZ-RAID configuration
feature:
1. Start the ServeRAID Configuration program (see
“Starting the ServeRAID Configuration program” on
page 77).
2. If you want to include all RDY drives in the array,
continue with step 3. Otherwise, change the device
states of the RDY drives that you do not want to
include in the array to SBY. To do this:
a. Select Rebuild/Device Management from the
Main Menu; then, press Enter.
b. Select Set Device State from the next menu;
then, press Enter.
c. Use the Up Arrow (
↑
) or Down Arrow (
↓
) key to
highlight the drive that you do not want to
include in the array; then, press Enter.
d. When the drive states pop-up window appears,
select SBY; then, press Enter.
e. Repeat steps 2b through 2d for each RDY drive
that you do not want to include in the array;
then, press Esc to return to the Main Menu.
Note
After you run EZ-RAID configuration, you
can change the device states back to RDY.
3. Select EZ-RAID Configuration from the Main Menu;
then, press Enter. Information about the disk-array
configuration appears on the screen.
4. When the Confirm pop-up window appears, select
Yes; then, press Enter. The drives are automatically
initialized. RAID level 5 drives are synchronized in
the background.
5. If you are creating multiple arrays and you set some
of the devices to another state using the procedure in
step 2, use that procedure to set the devices for the
Physical RDY
